Martinez, Los Angeles City Council president, apologized for the attacks on Sunday, Oct. 9, citing ‘intense frustration and anger.’
Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez apologized Sunday, Oct. 9 for attacking colleague Mike Bonin and other elected officials in racially charged language during a conversation in October 2021.
“The context of this conversation was concern over the redistricting process and concern about the potential negative impact it might have on communities of color. My work speaks for itself. I’ve worked hard to lead this city through its most difficult time.” It was not clear who recorded and leaked the conversation, which appeared on Reddit but was later removed from the site. CNS reviewed the conversation, which was first reported byAmong other comments, Martinez belittled Bonin, who is white and has a Black son, and criticized the child for his behavior at a Martin Luther King Day parade, saying Bonin’s son was misbehaving on a float, which might have tipped over if she and the other women on the float didn’t step in to “parent this kid.
At another point, Martinez recalls a conversation with businessman Danny Bakewell about possibly transferring Los Angeles International Airport out of Bonin’s council district and into that of Councilman Marqueece Harris-Dawson.
